The New Truss Line from TRNK is the Modern Furniture Your Home Needs

By Kelsey Machado Jun 23, 2017 11:00 AM

Since 2014, TRNK has been bringing us carefully sourced home furnishings from designers around the world. Now TRNK is dipping their toes into the furniture design waters, and creating a collection of their own. The new TRNK Truss Collection is a contemporary update on iconic designs of the past.

The staple of any living room is the seating, and TRNK’s Truss line is trendy and timeless, elegant and welcoming. These are investment pieces that you can build a room around, allowing you to easily update the look of your space simply by changing out the surrounding decor. Thoughtfully designed, the Truss line was created with the modern home in mind: it is a line that is durable, stylish, and comfortable.

While their extensive collection of home decor products sourced from around the world is what put TRNK on the map, the Truss line is something altogether new. A passion project for co-founders and designers Tariq Dixon and Nick Nemechek, the collection is made right here in America. Inspired by the classic home furnishings they already offer, the duo developed four seating pieces that fit perfectly with every home decor style, from the contemporary to the minimalist to the urban industrial. Their main goal for the Truss line was to create pieces that are elegant yet practical and their extensive knowledge of furniture and customer needs allowed them to do just that.

Style wasn’t the only concern when developing their new line. Tariq and Nick invested countless hours into making sure the pieces are as comfortable as they are stylish. Special high-resilience foam was used for the cushions, along with a tempered steel S-spring support system to ensure maximum durability and “loungey” comfort.

The Truss collection is made to order, allowing you to customize it to fit your home. You can choose from a variety of color options in fabric, aniline leather, or a fabric and leather combination, to create your own unique sofa, armchair, ottoman, or two-seater bench. Ranging in price from $1,150 to $4,400, each piece is handmade and ships in 6 – 8 weeks. As an added bonus, to celebrate the launch of their first collection, TRNK is offering free delivery on Truss orders placed before July 14th.

Topgolf brings back John Daly to continue to “disrupt” the game

john daly

To the uninitiated, golf can feel like a stuffy game. There is a dress code, there is an etiquette, and you even have to be quiet. At a sporting event. For those of us who love golf (don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan but believe it is called golf because the other four-letter words are taken), we recognize golf isn’t stuffy as much as it is steeped in tradition. But there has always been one man who shirked the shackles of the tradition and disrupted the game of golf with one of the most immaculate vibes in the sport, John Daly. With his drinking, smoking, wild pants, wilder mouth, and general who-gives-a-sh*t nature, he was everything golf wanted to keep out. Now, the game embraces him and his vibe, and Topgolf brought him in to continue the disruption.

I love the vibe at Topgolf. It’s a place where you can smash a golf ball, listen to music, have a drink, and enjoy yourself with friends and family. That’s my kind of golf. – John Daly

Cigar Lounge Spotlight: The Carnegie Club takes you back to Rat Pack days

Couch, Furniture, Body Part

Three blocks south of Central Park, before you find yourself lost in the hectic environment of Times Square, is a cigar lounge tucked back away from the hustle and bustle. It almost feels like a secret. A place only those in the know are privy to. Of course, if that is the intention, then lovers of this establishment will be coming for me in no time with their pitchforks. I am talking about The Carnegie Club—a cigar lounge sitting on 56th Street between 6th and 7th Avenue. From the moment you walk in, it doesn’t feel like a normal, run-of-the-mill bar. No, this has a New York feel, but a specific kind of New York feel. One that harkens back to the days of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. This feels like the Rat Pack days.

Isaac Rouse is our new James Bond…it’s not what you think

Young James Bond

We’re all out here waiting on pins and needles to see who will take on the iconic role of James Bond in Amazon’s newest movie series. All the while, 2026 is just dropping Bond project after Bond project to whet our appetites. From 007: First Light dropping for the gamers in the franchise, to King Zero by Charlie Higson and All In by Dan Jones hitting the bookshelves, to yet another project you get to sink your teeth into, Young Bond: SilverFin.

If the last one sounds familiar to you, then you are a fan of Bond on the page as much as on the screen. First published in 2005, SilverFin follows a young James Bond long before he is recruited by the 00 program. Also written by Charlie Higson, this release is a full cast audio drama set to invade yet another part of your life. And young Isaac Rouse is set to voice our favorite future Bond. And there are a few fun Bond historical connections among the cast as well.
